Files

The Hugging Face dataset card YAML points configs.data_files to all *.tsfile files in this repository.

• epf_be.tsfile

TsFile Storage Model

• Each original series (id) is stored as one TsFile device.
• Time-varying targets and dynamic covariates are stored as FIELD measurements.
• Source timestamp values are mapped to the TsFile Time column as millisecond timestamps.
• Table name(s): epf_be.

Column Schema

Column	Role	TsFile type
Time	Time column	INT64
id	TAG (device dimension)	STRING
target	FIELD (measurement)	FLOAT
Generation_forecast	FIELD (measurement)	FLOAT
System_load_forecast	FIELD (measurement)	FLOAT

Conversion Notes

• The source FEV format stores each time series as one nested row containing id, timestamp[], and target or covariate arrays.
• The TsFile conversion flattens those nested arrays into long rows. Therefore, the TsFile rows values above correspond to the number of timestamped observations after flattening.
• TAG columns identify the device and static metadata. FIELD columns contain values that change over time.
• Large logical tables may be split into multiple .tsfile shards such as <name>_1.tsfile, <name>_2.tsfile, and so on. Shards listed for the same frequency belong to the same logical table.

Reading Example

from tsfile import TsFileReader

reader = TsFileReader("epf_be.tsfile")
schemas = reader.get_all_table_schemas()
# Table name(s): epf_be
